Yes but no :). update-alternatives has been designed to be completely independent of libdpkg because it should be usable stand-alone on a non-dpkg based system. There are quite a few functions in update-alternatives.c which could have been reused out of libdpkg otherwise. So you should rather add a basic config file parser just before the current option parsing logic. > Unfortunately I can not compile the code or the deposit with the > code of package.

Have you followed the instructions of the README? You can also use the package build process (i.e. debian/rules build) to trigger the compilation.
